MORE DODGERS

Yasiel Puig was running through the clubhouse with that infamous voice heard around Dodger Stadium and a drenched mohawk, spraying champagne all over his Dodgers teammates.

Puig – the rookie Cuban sensation, is always celebrating, dancing, doing the worm and prodding his teammates with playful banter and good-natured shoves.

He really deserved this celebration after the Dodgers knocked off the Atlanta Braves Monday 3-1 in the NLDS and advanced to the NLCS.

The Puig factor has continued as his starring role in the show that is the postseason has increased.

Puig had the key double to lead off the eight inning, an extra-base hit that set the stage for Juan Uribe’s magical two-run homer game-winning magic against the Braves.

The 22-year-old kid has been better than good. Puig has put up his spring training-like numbers in the postseason. He has eight hits in four games and is batting .471 with five runs, 2 RBI and a .500 on-base percentage.

No one has doubted his ability to hit, but his defensive miscues figured to be a problem in the postseason.

Puig has been nearly flawless in the playoffs, but his approach at the plate and in big games has been the same.

“I’m always giving my best in every opportunity I get,” Puig said through an interpreter. “I give thanks to God that I was called up this year, and I’ve had the opportunity to play in the big leagues.

“I really take each game as just another game of baseball. I don’t focus too much on it being the playoffs or being my first opportunity or anything like that. It’s really just another game that I’ve played, and I always give my best because it’s the game that I love to play.”

Had he gambled and made mistakes, people surely wouldn’t be surprised. But he’s been patient, mature and clutch once again.

“Yasiel, we just kind of see this all the time,” Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. “We see him be more patient, be more aggressive. He’s showing everyone how he can impact a game from the standpoint he can be really aggressive and go first to third. I think we’re seeing a young player.

“.. I think we’re looking at a 22-year-old kid playing in the playoffs for the first time. Better to think of him as a great talent, great player, but he is 22. first experience big leagues. First experience playoffs. I think he’s handled it really well.”

Many, including this columnist, worried Puig’s aggressive, feisty, confident manner could hurt the Dodgers. I figured he could help and also hurt the team.

“The Dodgers surely won’t be able to get away with mistakes like that in playoffs,” I wrote after Puig’s debacle of a defensive performance in that well-documented game against the Tampa Rays. “Mattingly believes he’s making strides, even though it’s clear the 22-year-old still has plenty to learn.”

The Dodgers overcame Puig that day and still had a 7-6 comeback win, which Puig focused on that day. He didn’t want to dwell on his mistakes nor discus them, and perhaps that’s why he’s moved past them and learned how to use his cutoff men.

It was veteran first baseman Adrian Gonzalez who had two errors in Game 4 of the NLDS and could have caused the Dodgers to waste a sensational outing by Clayton Kershaw on three days rest, not Puig.

Puig still has never met a first pitch he didn’t like, but he’s been able to lay off pitches that are low and away consistently. He’s a tough out for opposing pitchers.

He wowed the Dodgers and energized this team when he was called up in June and was a big reason the Dodgers recovered from that awful start.

“He made every guy on that team say, ‘Hey, wait a minute, I’m going to have to hustle or I’m going to look bad,’” said former Dodger Steve Garvey. “The Dodgers were going through the motions. He ran hard to first base. He made them play harder.”

Puig has made questionable decisions, too. He seemingly plays hard on and off the field and loves to show off his Rolls Royce on Twitter and tons of pictures of himself.

He’s a hit everywhere. A No. 66 autographed jersey went for $3,000 before Game 3 at Dodger Stadium. Imagine what the Dodgers could capture for the Dodgers Foundation after his Game 5 NLDS heroics. His jersey is one of the top-five sellers in Major League Baseball.

Puig showed up late in Florida and had a temper tantrum over balls and strikes, but he’s been more mature and overcome a dismal September.

He has shined under the lights of October. Many players wilt under the pressure of the playoffs, but it’s clear Puig thrives on the spotlight and stress of big games and bigger situations.

After he scored a run in Game 3 at Dodger Stadium, he slammed his helmet on the bench and went to the clubhouse with an athletic trainer following. He had grimaced at second base and clearly tweaked something. He acted almost insulted anyone would think he could be injured, and he’s weathered many injuries this season. He doesn’t want you to see him sweat.

“I feel in perfect condition,” Puig said. “I’m ready to give it my best ... so I can prepare for the next team that comes.”

And the next opportunity to showcase the Puig Show, the new one that’s high on drama and low on gaffes.
